Chicago update and OMG RLY IMPORTANT! (Rly.)
We're leaving good old Chicago in a few hours and I have capered the hotel computer from Chaz. Sucker. We had tons of fun here. Since I have the time to write out a complete entry (but I don't feel like it), here's a bulleted list of things I did and Chaz and I did.
List of things done:
-- #1: My roommate was AWESOME. She works in the Buffalo office and used to be an actress in LA. We're both gaudy, all sorts of fucked up, and had amazingly similar personalities.
-- While Chaz wasn't here and I was hanging with co-workers (most of whom I've never met), we went out to eat at several delicious restaurants. The first night, the COS Mid-Atl. folks decided to be anti-social and went out together. We decided on a delicious Mexican restaurant. Mmmm Mmmm Good. The next night, we went for Japanese which was good, but not amazing - and stumbled upon a rather cheap bar. The only bad thing: the bar had plastic deer heads on the wall. Transparent, plastic deer heads. None of us felt particularly good about the transparent, plastic deer heads. The last night, we went to the Lux Bar. Fancy place. And I was fancy trashed. We all were.
-- Chaz didn't get into town until reasonably late, so we went to dinner at an Italian place that served "world famous" deep dish pizza. Even if they lied, the pizza was amazing and deserved its title. The next day, we went to the top of the Sears tower, saw the amazing view and purchased...get this...TOUR BUS TICKETS. Now for those of us who actually live in cities full-time, we all hate the tour busses that putz through town. In reality, they're quite fun. Since the tour bus let us get on and off all day, we stopped at Navy Pier. Us Philadelphians would consider Penn's Landing really awesome, but Navy Pier trumped P.L a thousand fold. You will see later when I post pictures. We then stopped at Millenium Park. Coolest park, ever. Again, you will see from the pictures. From there, we sat in the park, I played in the fountain and then decided to walk around. We didn't do much today; Chaz is sun-burned, we have a time schedule, and I think we're both kinda sleepy.
Anyway, that's the quick and dirty run down. Chicago seems really amazing - unforuntately, we didn't get to go to the "real" parts of the city. C and I stayed in what would be the equivelant to center city and I stayed in the University City of Chicago with my co-workers. I'm sure we'll come back and see more.
C and I have decided to, by the time we're 30, see almost every big American city. Then, it's off to Europe.
Oh. The important thing!
Chaz's birthday is 7/7/07.
We're having a little get together at our new place.
Date: 7/7/07
Start Time: 7-8pm
End: ?
The house is not all put together yet, but we'd still like people to come over.
Everyone who wants to come, please let me know!!
If you can, I know what it's like to be broke, please bring booze, snacks, or non-booze like drinks. :)
